PLEASE HELP , after extensive searching I am led to this site to try and sort out my problem

Until recently I have had no problems playing games that I have launched from steam.Only recently have I started to notice that when I launch specific games in my games library the BSOD with the system_service_exception error code 0x0000003b appears, this can be intermittent.

I have installed blue screen view and it seems to indicate that the driver atikmdag.sys and ntoskrnl.exe is causing the issue linked to the ati kernel mode driver and NT kernel and system which are their file names respectively, I have tried reinstalling the new catalyst drivers but this doesnt seem to make any difference.this is as far as I have gone

the minidump is uplodedthe age of my system now is approximately 2 and half years - I have also considered updating my motherboard e.g flash bios and update chipset drivers but I do not know if this will make any difference.

How to Avoid Downloading Malware

Where are you getting the download?

There are malicious people who download valid copies of a popular download, modify the file with malicious software, and then upload the file with the same name. Make sure you are downloading from the developer's web page or a reputable company.

Cancel or deny any automatic download

Some sites may automatically try start a download or give the appearance that something needs to be installed or updated before the site or video can be seen. Never accept or install anything from any site unless you know what is downloading.

Avoid advertisements on download pages

To help make money and pay for the bandwidth costs of supplying free the software, the final download page may have ads. Watch out for anything that looks like advertisements on the download page. Many advertisers try to trick viewers into clicking an ad with phrases like "Download Now", "Start Download", or "Continue" and that ad may open a separate download.

Manually editing the Windows registry

Caution: Unless you an advanced PC user, please do not edit the Windows registry manually.

Because of this risk, we highly recommend using a trusted registry cleaner such as SmartPCFixer Using a registry cleaner automates the process of finding invalid registry entries, missing file references (like the one causing your MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION error), and broken links within the registry. A backup is automatically created before each scan, with the ability to undo any changes in a single click, protecting you against the possibility of PC damage. The best part is that repairing registry errors can also dramatically improve system speed and performance.

Click the Start button.

Type "command" in the search box... DO NOT hit ENTER yet!

While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER.

You will be prompted with a permission dialog box.

Click Yes.

A black box will open with a blinking cursor.

Type "regedit" and hit ENTER.

In the Registry Editor, select the Error 0x9C-related key (eg. Windows Operating System) you want to back up.

From the File menu, choose Export.

In the Save In list, select the folder where you want to save the Windows Operating System backup key.

In the File Name box, type a name for your backup file, such as "Windows Operating System Backup".

In the Export Range box, be sure that "Selected branch" is selected.

Click Save.

The file is then saved with a .reg file extension.

You now have a backup of your MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION-related registry entry.

The next steps in manually editing your registry will not be discussed in this article due to the high risk of damaging your system. If you would like to learn more about manual registry editing, please see the links below.

BSOD error while using Google Chrome on Windows 7 x64.

Hi,

I'm experiencing random BSODs last days on a pretty fresh installation of Windows 7.It's not occuring when doing heavy tasks (when making music with lot's of ram and CPU in use), but ( I guess) when browsing with Google Chrome.It seems like completely random, can't find the issue...I do have a .dmp file and uploaded it to my dropbox.Maybe someone can analyse it and find the faulty driver or something?

Link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10938251/MEMORY.rar

Hope to hear from someone!

Thanks,Pablo

Solutions to the Problem BSOD error while using Google Chrome on Windows 7 x64.

These crashes were caused by memory corruption (probably a driver). Please run these two tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.

If you are overclocking anything reset to default before running these tests.In other words STOP!!!

1-Memtest.

*Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program."http://www.memtest.org/#downiso"]Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

*Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.

Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.

Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.

Any errors are indicative of a memory problem.

If a known good stick fails in a motherboard slot it is probably the slot.

2-Driver verifier

Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition.Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is.But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver.Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows.If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

I'd suggest that you first backup your data and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise.Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .

Then, here's the procedure:- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen.Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly.The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out.If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/101379-driver-verifier-enable-disable.html
